I am a compassionate and experienced Mental Health Therapist, Master EFT Practitioner and Life Coach who will guide you through the complexities of emotional healing and relational growth. My priority is to facilitate fast relief for those struggling with symptoms of anxiety disorder, depression, stress, emotional and physical pain. Those who find themselves trapped in cycles of emotional distress and relational challenges. With expertise in addressing emotional triggers resulting from past traumas, adverse childhood experiences, and anxiety disorder symptoms. I see clients in Daylesford and provide online video appointments. I offer a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their pain or triggers and work towards finding relief and healing fast.
Holistic Therapy Approach for Lasting Results
My therapeutic approach combines somatic and holistic therapies. My personal experience has led me to believe that by combining Talk Therapy with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) grounded in positive psychology leads to the fastest and most effective transformation. Talk Therapy helps unwind trauma from your mind, EFT, releases the trauma stored in the body and positive psychology creates a way to see the world differently. This unique combination allows clients to experience faster and more profound results by addressing the psychological and physiological aspects of their trauma which produces a clear path on how to move forward in life with greater ease and grace.

My Story
My deep dive into the world of therapy and holistic well-being wasn’t a straight road; in fact, it was filled with twists, turns, and unexpected detours.
For years, the universe gently whispered messages to me, signaling areas in my life that needed attention and healing. However, fuelled by fear and the reluctance to confront my own trauma, I chose to ignore these signs. The universe persisted until I could no longer run.
In a pivotal moment, I made a commitment to face my demons, peel back the layers and embark on a profound journey of healing. It required leaving behind everything I had known, a 20 year relationship, businesses, a beautiful home, and the life I had meticulously built.
The process wasn’t easy; it demanded vulnerability, courage, and a willingness to confront the shadows within. But through that darkness emerged a newfound strength, wisdom, and a deep understanding of the human experience. It became clear that my purpose was not just to heal myself but to guide others on their paths to well-being.
So, here I am, a living testament to the transformative power of facing our truths, embracing vulnerability, and allowing healing to unfold.
I have studied (and continue to study) everything I can, as I use my life as an experiment to find the stuff that works and call bullshit on the stuff that wastes time and money.
My ideal clients are ready and willing to heal and are seeking a holistic transformation in their mental, emotional and relational well-being.
I’m honored to be part of your journey and to share the lessons learned along the way.
